The house is exactly as shown in the photographs; it is in a secluded, quiet area, perfect for relaxing. I really liked the location of the bedrooms because it allowed for privacy, and it was possible to socialize in the common areas of the kitchen and pool. Very friendly host, with good recommendations and quick to respond. The driveway is in good condition; any vehicle can drive up it. It's paved with cement, so it doesn't get slippery.

We absolutely loved our stay at Monkey Manor. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. David, the owner, was amazing — incredibly kind, responsive, and genuinely cared that we had everything we needed. The concierge was also outstanding, offering great local recommendations and always willing to help arrange anything we asked for. The housekeeper was equally wonderful — kind, attentive, and thoughtful, making sure the home was spotless and comfortable throughout our stay. The house itself is beautiful and well equipped. The heated pool was incredible and quickly became one of our favorite parts of the property. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook, and the games were a fun bonus for relaxing evenings. The views are truly special — sweeping beach views, unforgettable sunsets, and so many unique birds to watch throughout the day. It felt peaceful, private, and special in a way that’s hard to find. We loved our stay at Monkey Manor and would abs

Host was communicating very efficiently, making check in process very easy. The place itself was breathtaking and convenient to everything. Though a little away from jaco it the views were worth it. Definitely recommend this to a larger group or families. Bring bug spray, will come in handy.

After a late disaster at a local hotel, Carlos helped us immensely. He provided us with detailed directions and met us at the place. He was excellent with his communication and recommendations. His place was great and the housekeeper, Areliz, was so nice and helpful. We loved the place and hope to return next year. Our only negative was no monkeys, haha. Highly recommend
